that the work before them was not mater

LETTERS FROM THE CAPITOL.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. II. 1887.

t-Nss-E -. " 10 r. - . ~ ~ -
When the House met to-day, Mr..
Donnelly offered a resolution calling for a
committee OF five to investigate the charges
OF bribery which he had made the previous
evening" relative to the vote on the bill
mXlhg rates for the transportation Of grain.
5he resolution passed unanimously but the
day: Mr.. Donnelly, will, Of course be
the resolution, which had already passed
the Senate, %expunging from the records the
Julian Cox. There was only a tribe Of
opposition to them and they passed by
"a yeas to nays. The event of the day
was a sharp contest over the school book
law which was discussed at great length in
the committee of the whole. The friends of
the measure claim that it simply ~re-enacts
the law OF 1883 relative to the manner OF
a~lstr1butlng the State school text books
reenactment except that in enrolling the en-
acting clause was ommitted in 1888. How
ever this may be, the country members
jumped IN 'tMerril's bill' as it is called
and very e~mphattcally voted in favor of an
indefinite postponement. Mr.. Donnelly
got it excepted from the report of the
committee of the whole but it
IS almost certain to be defeated.
Only four bills were passed. Two of them
referred to Mankato, one to Sank Centre
and the fourth to New Richland. I simply
mention these to show the local character
OF almost the entire legislation of the
working days remain.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. IS, 1887.
This was a very industrious day in both
branches OF the Legislature, though like all
preceding days of the session it was chiefly
devoted to local legislation. In the Senate
Mr.. Scheffer's bill for graded license was
referred to the temperance committee with
instructions to promptly report upon it,
This bill provides for a license Of 5000, in
and over 1900, $500, and in all others
$2Q2. Those who are absolutely opposed
to high license favor it, of course,
and It is reported that a good
many so called high license people
fearing, that the bill already passed
can not be enforced will support it also.
The passage of this bill would, of course,
supercede the bill already passed entirely.
The afternoon in the Senate was chiefly de-
voted to considering the committee Of the
whole on the new election law offered by
Senator Whiteman. 1t is a very elaborate
bill and largely taken from the statutes Of
New York.
The House held three sessions to-day
sitting until nearly II O'Clock at night.
Among the work don was the passage Of
the bill providing for a soldiers home, the
vote standing 74yeas to 4 nays. 1t appropri-
ates $4,000 and provides for the purchase Of
16o acres Of land. It also provides that

to aid soldiers who do not wish to enter the
home. The trustees are Knute Nelson,
Albert Schetfer, E. T. Champlin, Ara
Barton, A.. G. Dorr, W. II. Sherwood and
E: e. Farnham. The Merrill school book
bill was finally killed to-day by the refusal
of the House to put the bill on it's third
reading There were only ten votes in
favor of the measure. The speaker an
nounced as the committee to investigate
the charges of bribery made by MIR. Don
nelly: Messrs. Donne)ly, Barker, Buffun,
Reese and Powers. A meeting was held by
the committee this evening but reporters
were excluded. 1t is the current report
that the party referred to as having offered
the $3.50 bride is Cloutier of H~ernepin
county and McArdle of the same county
the man to whom it was offered. McArdle
is said to have mentioned the mattar to
Mr.. Newell of St. Paul and
Newell reported it to Mr.. Donnelly. Mr.
Cloutier, in an interview saysh he was merely
talking in a jocose manner O McArdle,; that
from some remarks he heard in the Wer-
chants hotel be told McArdle he could gps
$3.50 for his vote. McArdle also claims the
talk was q Joking affair but Newell was told
it in a serious form and reported it to Mr.;
Donnelly in good faith. Whether the con-.
mittee WILL call it a joke remains to be
seen:

ST. PAUL, MINI, FEB. 90, 1887.
The chief legislative event of the day was
the final decision of the House against Mr..
Donnelly's bill regulating rates on railroads.
After the bill was defeated last week, Mr..
Donnelly gave notice of a motion to recon
slider and it has lain in a quiescent state
ever since. Another bill was under consid-
GRAFTON to be made a special order and Mr..
Donnelly ~endeavored to have his bill united
with that special order. A long and acri-
monou debate Oh parliamentary tactics
was then INDUCED in, but it finally resulted
in the House refusing by 81 yeas to so nays
to take up the bill. The capitol building ques-
ton received a little attention to-day and
propriating $4,000 to repair the present
building. In the Senate an effort was made
in the afternoon to suspend the rules to pass
the bill; there was not a two-third vote so
the bill went over until tomorrow. Duluth
got In its little joke on Minneapolis by her
mayor sending a telegram offering forty
acres of ground and S 2,5O0,O00 cash for the
capital there. Senator Wards resolution
to locate the building at the agricultural
farm was sent back to him for amendment.
The outcome of all of this fuss on all sides
will probably be the passage of the bill ap-
propriating $4,000 to repair the present
DuAluAuS anu uOLnlnS more. Inc general
temper of the Legislature seems to be
against the taking of the initiative in start
ing a movement that will involve the State
in the expenditure of two or three million of
dollars at the besthowever importantit may
seem in the beginning. The farmers
having voted against themselves in the
House by defeating Donnelly's bill regulat-
lngp prices, it was not surprising, that the
Senate, which is comparatively small in
farmer representation, should give the ag-
riculturalists another lick by defeating
Hixon's freedom OF tariff bill. This bill
would have probably passed if the other
bill had not been killed in the House, but
Che Senators bad little compunction in
Strengthening it: after the farmers had
slaughtered their own measure in the body
where they are in control. A good deal Of
effort is being made to carry Senator
Sckefer's graded license bill and the move
ment has so far succeeded that the commit
tee On temperance to-day decided to report
the Mll back without recommendation
which, is really, quite encourag-
ing Cor the bill, though, there
does ncs seem to be much chance for it's
passage. There is likely however, to be a
pretty strong fight on it. After all the
sound and fury on the oil inspectorthe,House
indefinitely postponed the bill to-day for
abolishiEg the Office. The bill granting
$50, 900 for . new normal school at oorhead
is now through both branches and the
State can now count on four institutions of
that description.

Sowing Grass Seed.

In sowing grass and clover seeds an
even stand is desirable, and to secure
this, great care is to be taken in the SOW
ing. A very good practice is to make
the last narrowing with great care, evenly
and with the marks all parallel. Then
the soWer can follow these marks, first
taking the edge of the field aud return
ing six short PAGES distant from the first
course. Then returning on the second
course, and always sowing with the right
hand to the left. Six feet for each cast
is as much as can be taken with light
seed, as orchard grass, blue grass, red
top, ETC., and as much as should be taken
with timothy, and the quantity of seed
taken may be readily gagged to the
width of the cast. The cast is made
with each movement of the right foot.
When the wind is blowing, even slightly,
the casts should be made low, to avoid
irregular dropping of the seed, and when
the light seeds are SOwn it is easier to
walk across the harrow marks when the
tracks made are easily seen, and as the
wind may carry the seed to one side, the
sower may go out of the straight track to
accommodate the wind, and on returning
can easily distinguish the foot marks of
the previous track in the soft soil.
The sowing should be done as soon as
the last narrowing is finished, when the
seed sinks in the loose soil, or is covered
by the first shower A smoothing plank
is good thing to cover seed with. 1t
may be eight or ten feet long, and is
fitted with a tongue and two stiff braces.
The tongue is fitted to the plank on the
level, so that when it is raised the front
end of the plank is elevated a little.
This prevents the plank from gathering
stones or seeds in front of it, and causes
1t to ride over them. 1t leaves a smooth,
even surface.-American Agriculturist.

Methods of Feeding Meat.

1t is universally conceded among poul-
try raisers in our country that supply OF
meat is an absolute necessity to laying
hens, says a writer in the New England
Farmer, but as to methods of meeting
this need diversities of opinion are nu-
nerOus. But not to eXpatiate upon the
different modes in which meat is fed to
hens, 1 will briefly state my opinions on
the subject, giving the method which,
in my experience, has proved itself most
satisfactory and profitable.
In the summer, when hens are given
their freedom in roaming about they will
obtain a sufficient quantity of insects,
worms, etc, to supply their want of an
1mal food. But in the winter, as they
have no such opportunities, the continu-
alton of their animal diet is dependent
upon the owner The best method of
supplying hens with meat diet is to OBJ
tain a beef creatures head, which can
be purchased for 10 or 10 cents from any
butcher, and twice or three times week,
with an axe, a part should be chopped
up for them. AS bone is also a neces-
sity to hens, when this head is chopped
up bone and flesh together, hens receive
two very essential elements of their nee
essary diet. After the requisite supply
of meat is chopped off the head should
be allowed to remain in convenient cor
ner in the hen house, that the fowls may
have an opportunity to pick it over and
devour the particles of bone and meat
which remain, thus affording them con-
siderable exercise.

FARM AND GARDEN.

Roughness and Bran as a Resource.
Mr. J. NJ. True, referred to as a most
experienced agriculturist of Sank county,
Wis, being rather heavily stocked with
fine cattle and horses, and short of hay
on account of drouth, adopted a course
of grain feeding with ''roughness, -
which he thus refers to in the Western
Farmer, and bases upon the encouraging
experience bit of good advice to others
similarly situated:
I bought heavily of wheat bran, cut
and stored all my corn fodder, put my
straw where 1t could not be trampled
under foot, and, with the full knowledge
of the necessity of economy, commenced
the winter. My stock never was in better
shape in the spring than last. My colts
had grown finely. My brood mares
dropped strong, vigorous colts. and my
cattle were in fine condition. 1 thought
had made discovery; hence, in the
present emergency, advise-if you have
good stock, such as it pays to keep at
all-dOn't sacrifice it. Make the most of
your crops. Watch the prices of bran
and other mill feeds, and when you can
buy bran for so or less per ton, fill up,
storing in a dry, airy place. Plan to
feed more grain feeds and less hay the
coming winter, and see if you do not
continue the practice, even when plenty
again fills our barns with hay"

Wafer for Animals.

All animals should be provided with
pure water, and with none is it more
necessary than with mich COWS. Serious
results have been known to follow the use
OF impure or stagnant water. 1t is not
every farm that has natural and unfail-
ing supply of water, although many have a
condition that should be observed in the
purchase of a farm, as it is one of the
most valuable considerations that can be
named. A never-failing spring of
abundant supply cannot be too highly
plzed; it costs nothing for repairs and
u always in good working order; but
such blessings are not shared by all, and
hence arises the necessity for providing
some artificial means of supply. Wells
with pumps will answer all demands upon
farms with small number of animals,
out upon farms where they are numbered
by scores pumping water from a well
by hand would be both laborious and
expensive. In such cases there would
probably be no better mode of supply
IMAM by wind power, which when
adopted should be so situated that the
power could be utilized for other pur-
poses npon the farm. OF course this is
an expensive method of procuring water,
out under some conditions becomes a

Hurrah For Your Own Side.

The voice OF the newsboy was not
drowned even in the din of war In
March, 1862, part of General Buell's
army marched through Nashville in pur-
suit of the retreating Confederates. As
one Of the regiments was going through
the city it was surrounded and followed
by crowd of boys, most of them with
papers, and all evidently in full sympathy
with the retreating enemy One of the
urchins, little holder than the rest,
bawled out "Hurrah for jeff Davis ~
